ALARM REGARDING DOGS. ALLEGED DINGO-ALSATIAN CROSS. A recent report from Armidale, New South Wales, that a dog, said to be a cross between a dingo and an Alsatian, had been killed at Wongwibinda, near Armidale, provoked considerable alann among pastoralists and others interested in the industry. The Minister of Agriculture instructed his officers to make an immediate investigation, the results of which may end the long controversy whether the Alsation, in a wild state, is likely to mate with the dingo. " The secretary of the Graziers’ Association said that he had taken steps to have a complete investigation made. The report stated that two purebred dingoes and a dog, said to be a cross between a dingo and an Alsatian, had been killed at Wongwibinda, as a result of four
days’ intensive hunting by 20 shooters and 10 drivers. The dingoes and dog are Raid to have killed more than 200 sheep.
